When Celaena and Sam wanted to move and said they needed Aronynn’s support to establish themselves….why didn’t she just take him to the Silent Assassins? The mute master said she’d always be welcome??

So I realized that Celaena Sardothien and Sam Cortland’s initials are CS and SC–the same but backwards, and I want to die.

I just want Sam to come back from the death and get together with Celaena/Aelin again. They should just run off and finally start the life they wanted to live at the end of Assassin’s blade and be fearless and free and happy and in love and have a wonderful live

But that will never happen and it makes me wanna crawl under a blanket and cry

someone please shot me i have read sam‘s dead 547 times and he stills dead

I really like imagining Aelin and everyone in the modern day like, Aelin getting adopted by a criminal mastermind and becoming his prodigy but then meeting this cute quirky thief named Sam and falling for him. They realize that her adoptive father is wrong and go off to live in the real world together and go to college and wear normal clothing and not have to worried about being murdered at night. And then Sam is tortured and killed in the middle of the night and Aelin is put in a high security prison.

Sarah J. Maas:Sam Cortland is 1000% dead and is not coming back.

Me:Source???

Things I love about TOG

It’s such a small thing, but it’s something a lot of stories lack. Celaena (Aelin) existed as a character before ToG. She existed between when her parents died and when ToG kicks off. She had adventure that can’t be summed up in a single line or two, and I’m sure she has more stories we know nothing about. ToG isn’t the ONLY book to have done this, but it makes her feel so real. Aelin had more than a backstory; she had love, she had loss, she had a life.

m playing this weird interactive Demi Lovato game, and it was like choose you name and I chose Celaena cause like why not? And of course during the first to seconds you meet her boyfriend SAM!!!! It’s like a freaking modern AU

Hi! I’m the person who was shouting in the tags about Sam Cortland when I reblogged your flawless ToG drawings. I was in the middle of replying to your message and then accidentally deleted it because apparently I’m the worst. Anyway, I just wanted to say that you’re incredibly talented, that your drawing of him and Celaena is my absolute favourite piece of ToG fan art in existence, and that I completely feel you on the crying because WHY SARAH WHY.

^^^^ how Sam Cortland makes me feel…

You are not the worst!! You are so lovely, thank you so much :’3 Yeah and Sarah… really?

Sam: Sam. Sam. Omg. Sam. He loved her when it was hard for anyone else to see what to love, even for herself. He never felt good enough for Celaena, and yet he still loved her with everything he had. He survived weeks of games with Arobynn just to make sure she was safe. He always put her safety above his, no matter what it would cost him. He truly, truly loved her. He did not push, he did not fight. He hoped. He trusted. And he was there.*Dissolves into a puddle of tears because the Assassin’s Blade is a traumatic experience*

Sam:Stop being a weirdo and drink your tea dorian

Me:*bangs fist in sarah j maas table*

Sarah:how did you kn-

Me:AND WHY SAM?!?! WHAT HAVE HE EVER DONE TO YOU!!!

So I’ve been thinking. If Sam’s mom was a favorite of Arobynn, so much so that he took Sam in, is it possible that Arobynn is Sam’s dad? I mean what if he didn’t know? Or if he did and he had him killed anyway?

I like to point out we don’t really know how the whole Mate works. We know that there can be more then one, the two people can be physically intimate before they are mated, you can be mated with whomever, that it is hard to physically hurt your mate and you cannot chose who it is. But that is it (add on if there is more). So we can’t tell if Aelin has already mated. Is it similar to the Caranam in the sense it can build over time, or is it a all at once sort of feeling. Can it be resisted, or can the instinct to mate become dormant if a Fae or Demi-Fae is in their other form for an extended period of time? Because we know so little, we don’t know if Aelin has already mated, has yet to mate or if she can all together. So really there is an equal chance to any male in her life to become her Mate.

Celaena and Sam

*spoiler alert*

The amount of times that my heart has burnt for this pairing to be together is uncountable. I honestly hope that in Queen of Shadows that Sam is well and alive. I do have my suspicions about his death though.

1) When Sam had passed on, Celaena detected an unfamiliar scent from Sam’s corpse as she lay next to him. (perhaps his death was staged) -which also brings me to my next point.

2) Celaena chose Sam over Arobynn. I feel like Arobynn played a big role in Sam’s death because he felt that Sam was taking his most prized possession, which is Celaena, away from him. Feeling threatened, Arobynn probably drugged Sam and replaced him with a corspe (thus why Sam had an unfamiliar scent when Celaena lay next to him). Another point (if I’m not mistaken) is that Sam disappeared hours after Arobynn came to Celaena’s apartment to profess his love towards her. Maybe it was revenge towards Celaena. If he could not have what he wanted, then Celaena would have to suffer the same fate as him.

3) Sam’s mother was Arobynn’s lover. If Arobynn was in love with Sam’s mother, he would feel like he had to keep her promise which was to take care of Sam. I don’t think that Arobynn would have killed Sam if he ever loved Sam’s mother.

In all honesty, I do not want to face the facts that Sam is indeed dead. So do ignore my naiveness. 🙂

aedion ashryver is very important to me. dorian havilliard is also very important to me. sam cortland, too, is very important to me

Something that EVERY Throne of Glass fan can agree on…

If Sam Cortland is/was/would be Aelin’s mate, that is FINE

help my mom has just started reading The Assassin’s Blade and she’s at the beginning of Pirate Lord and she asked me if Celaena and Sam get together aND I STARTED CRYING

what do i do ??

celaena: his name was samdorian: what happened?celaena: he dieddorian: when?celaena: thirteen months agodorian: I’m sorrycelaena: so am Ime: *wails*celaena: his name was samdorian: what happened?celaena: he dieddorian: when?celaena: thirteen months agodorian: I’m sorrycelaena: so am Ime: *wails*

The Truth

Sam Cortland is death and i’m not right.
Samlaena is gone and i’m not right
But for Celaena , Sam is always still alive and for me is a few better.

Does anyone else ever just think about Arobynn Hamel and what he did and just go into a blind rage and everything turns red and you suddenly completely understand the fury that lets Celaena peel people’s skin off without feeling any guilt or is that just me?

Please guys can we stop fancasting Sorscha as a white girl,
I’m sure Sorscha is canonically a PoC, though I can’t tell you of which ethnicity, because she is described as having golden skin and looks as though she has ancestors from Eyllwe.
Unlike Nehemia, who everyone has been good with and not used any white actresses to fancast, I’ve been recently seeing white Sorscha’s.

Why couldn’t SJ Maas just be explicit in the ethnicity/race of her characters?? Why couldn’t all authors be straightforward about their characters, and not describe ambiguously, letting us know the character is not white, but giving us no indication of what they are exactly??

[Set somewhere between The Assassin and the Underworld and The Assassin and the Empire]

Celaena ducked under an awning and pressed herself against the building and as far away from the rain as possible. Sam, laughing, ran up behind her. But, he stayed out in the rain. He spun like a fool, his locks darkening with rainwater. “Get in here, idiot,” Celaena hissed.

Sam laughed harder, “No, you come out here.”

[[MORE]]She pulled away from the wall to put her hands on her hips. “This isn’t funny, Sam.”

He stopped spinning, “Not even a little bit?”

She rolled her eyes. She didn’t need to deal with this. Sticking close to the wall, Celaena began the trek back to their apartment. Out in the rain, Sam followed. Lightning cracked over head, almost startling Celaena into the wall. She grunted when Sam’s laughter started up again.

“Why are you enjoying this so much?” Celaena turned on him. She wrung out her hair, pressing her hands into the curling strands. She’d always hated when it curled. “My hair is ruined.”

“Good,” She spun on Sam, an insult at the tip of her tongue. He said, “Live a little, Sardothien.”

Memories of the last time she’d heard that phrase all flooded back, and she snapped, “I do live. All the time.” Celaena started walking again, her saunter more of a stomp than anything. “This is all your fault.”

Sam’s laugh hit a new octave. “My fault? If you hadn’t punched our bartender in the face, we wouldn’t be in this mess.” She glared at him, and he met her stare headlong.

A burst of thunder startled both of them into ending the starring contest. They turned a corner, and she could finally make out the light of their apartment up ahead. “At least I didn’t throw a table.”

“There were six men running at me! What was I supposed to do?”

Celaena huffed and looked away from him. He was insufferable. “You’re going to catch a cold out there. And then how’ll we complete contracts?”

“Says Adarlan’s Assassin as if she needs my measly help,” Sam sang back. There was a smirk on his lips.

Celaena rolled her eyes again. “Wait,” Sam called as she stepped around the corner. “Wait, Celaena!” She wasn’t listening. She could see the light up ahead and that was the only thing on her mind. There was a crack, but she assumed it was just lightning. And then she was wet.

She gasped and stilled. Sam snapped a hand over his mouth somewhere behind her to hide his obvious chuckles. She hissed, shaking her arms of the water dripping down her. The awning had snapped just above her and all the water pooling in the tarp soaked her.

“Celaena,” Sam’s voice was gentler behind her. “Are you-”

She threw her head back and stared up at the night sky. Although there were dark clouds coating the horizon, if she squinted, she could just make out the stars that made up the Lord of the North. She allowed a small smile to slide onto her lips. Celaena hummed, then spun back and tapped Sam on the shoulder.

With a burst of speed, she took off, screaming, “Race ya!”

Sam laughed and she could hear his shoes hitting the pavement as he followed her. Laughing, Celaena turned the final corner before they reached their building. Live a little, Sardothien, Ansel had said. Somewhere out there, maybe Ansel had been right.

Celaena grinned and sped up.

Heir of Fire moments

Me:I’m ok . Nothing can hurt me now

* Sam nominated*

Me:Oh Oh..

I love how even though Maas herself has confirmed that he is in fact dead, everyone in this fandom still believes Sam’s alive and will come back at some point.

Maybe if we believe hard enough and have enough faith, it’ll actually happen?

Before skulls bay, Sam and Celaena had a love hate relationship

I could be done with The Assassin’s Blade by now, but my heart refuses to finish The Assassin and the Empire because it knows what’s to come. I just love Sam so much. He doesn’t deserve what’s going to happen to him. And poor Celaena. I don’t think I can stand to watch her go through more pain.

“If we live through this, Celaena,” Sam said, heading toward the side street that led to the docks, “remind me to teach you how to play cards properly.”

The Assassin and The Pirate Lord. HOly FUCKING SHIT NO NO NO I’M DONE HE NEVER GOT TO TEACH HER CARDS NO NO U SEE THEY HAD MANY CARD GAMES TO PLAY BUT NOPE WERE NOT ALLOW THEM TO SEE THEM GROW OLD TOGETHER

THRONE OF GLASS MODERN AESTHETICS: Celaena and Sam

anonymous asked:

Do you think Sam Cortland is alive?

Sarah J Mass confirmed that Sam is dead. *cries unconsolably* But i have a feeling he is in a happy place chillin with Nehemia right now eating hazelnut truffles and listening to Nehemia’s stories about her. 🙂

THE ASSASSIN’S BLADE : SAM CORTLAND & CELAENA SARDOTHIEN by SARAH J. MAAS“She would tuck Sam into her heart, a bright light for her to take out whenever thinks were darkest, and then she would remember how it had felt to be loved, when the world has held nothing but possibility. No matter what they did to her, they could never take that away. She would not break.”

throne of glass headcanon where aelin learned all her vulgar language from her time spent in skulls bay with the pirates and captain rolfe

Why wouldn’t Arobyyn be the assassin who murdered the royal court of Terrasen? Just think about it for a moment. He was conveniently in Terrasen the day it was attacked. He has the Amulet of Orynth, which means he has one of the Wyrdkeys. The keys are directly connected to the Valg princes, who have their own distinct stench. Aelin noted that the smell was similar to the one in her parent’s bedroom after they’d been slaughtered. Arobynn could have been working with/ using the Valg to render his targets unconscious so that he could get the Wyrdkey. The Valg would have listened to him because he could have been allied with the king of Adarlan, who already had his own key and was using it to control the Valg to help Arobbyn carry out the mission. Arobynn could’ve easily lied to the king about taking out the entire Galathynius bloodline, so that he would never know about Aelin being alive. This also leads me to believe that Arobynn had an ultimatum behind preserving Aelin. And he never intended to share her with the king. Remember that last line in The Assassin & the Empire? “I don’t like sharing my belongings.”

I want to talk about Sam Cortland because he doesn’t get talked about enough but I also

“I love those two together but I’m not sure if I love their friendship more than their romance but I also wouldn’t mind if they kissed passionately on occasion even though I’d also like to see them act as siblings but whatever just fuck it they’re both my brotp and otp.”

<Cries over fictional character*

Me: sam cortland?<

Me SAM CORTLAND.

Me:Maybe Sam Cortland will be my always.

Me: *Resumes crying

What if Sam has been in calcula this whole time but escaped at some point and is a totally merciless highwayman now because two years ago Arobynn showed him the mutilated, eyeless corpse of “Celaena” and he lost it. (That was why he was sent to calcula) but then in qos he’s going to try and rob this random girl who will happen to be Celaena than chaol will be really sad cuz he can’t hold a candle to Sam.

I have a hard time shipping Celaena with anyone because I read the prequel series and I will never ship her with anyone as much as I shipped her with same. Chaol is nice. Dorian is nice. Rowan is nice. LITERALLY NONE OF THEM HAVE THE CHEMISTRY THAT SAM HAD WITH HER.

The worst thing about reading the throne of glass novellas

Is that you get Killed with Sam cortland feels to the point that when you go back to the main novels you just feel empty.

Don’t get me wrong I love the love story with chaol but I just loved Sams devotion to her and to see her slowly opening her heart up to him. I haven’t cried over a death in a long time.

What I wouldn’t give for Sam cortland to actually be alive.

I love Throne of Glass! The way they just [clenches fist] The way they just….. [falls to the ground] The way they just….. [begins sobbing] SAM DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG

i don’t care what happens in queen of shadows as long as sam cortland comes back from the dead and that dorian is okay

I’m crying

Why write a novella that happened before the main story, when in the main story you got to know that one of the main characters in the novella, is dead. So you read a whole book and fall in love with a person who you know is dead. Then you get to his death and you really don’t want him to die and really don’t want to read about his death, because that would make him dead. But you do and you cry alot and then it’s over. And he is still dead.

If you haven’t read The Assassins Blade, you’re seriously missing out on some Sam Cortland feels

I literally shipped Celaena with both Dorian and Chaol at one point until I readAssassin’s Blade where I settled on Sam Cortland but that’s not happening so now I don’t care who she ends up with so long as she is aliveandhappy andstill has someone there for her

I don’t think Sam is dead. I never thought Sam was dead, from the first time Celaena mentioned him in book one to the present.

I feel like Sam isn’t really dead…I dont know, maybe it’s wishful thinking but maybe Arobynn saved him and made Celaena think he was dead so she would kill Jayne, get caught, etc….I want Sam to be alive BUT CHAOL!!!

How to make SamXCelaena shippers upset with three words:

OOPS I CRIED CUZ SAM AND CELAENA.

OOPS.

honestly why did i think making a samlaena mix would be a good idea i’m dying

I miss Nox. I can’t let him go. I want him and Celaena as bffs, kicking royal ass.

I remember reading that he’s going to come back. I just can’t wait.

I want Nox back. So much.

He did that anyway when his mate died

Moment of silence for the death of beautiful character. RIP Sam Cortland.
*sobs for weeks*

I’m reading the Throne of Glass novellas and Sam is amazing! It kills me because I know what’s going to happen…

Ah I remember reading the little assassin stories of Sam cortland. Pain. I remember there was a lot of pain.

First off, sorry this took so long to post. I’ve been swamped by homework and the only reason I’ve been posting anything is that I’ve had a lot of drafts I literally just have to click two buttons.

ANYWAY, I’ve thought a little about who Nesryn could be. There’s a few returning characters that she might be, like Lysandra or Elide, or she could be a totally new character. I’ve also seen theories about how she might be one of the slaves that Celaena freed in Skull’s Bay. That makes sense to me, especially because of her last name. It sounds pretty Eyllwe to me.From the little we know about her, she would be a good character to be returning from Aelin’s past. It’s obvious she’s going to be pretty important, so it would make sense if she does end up being a returning character. Whether she is or isn’t, we’re going to be seeing a lot of characters from Aelin’s past start to return here soon.

Right now I’m thinking that she’s going to be a new character, but I can totally see her being a returning character. I’ve thought about it though, and the people that I’m considering (Lysandra/Elide) already have pretty important roles in both Celaena’s past and Aelin’s future, which I think makes it less likely for them to come back in a totally different role. I mean it could definitely work, but I just don’t think that’s as much of a possibility. I can see her more as one of the slaves or silent assassins that we were kind of introduced to but not in detail.

Bottom of the line, no matter who she is, she’s going to badass and fantastic and a great addition to the squad

rowan and aelin like to share a bed. fleetfoot used to sleep in aelin’s bed before she left. now imagine rowan and fleetfoot battling for space in the same bed while aelin grins smugly and steals all the blankets

Plot twist:
Dorian and Chaol have been sleeping together. Arobynn proposes to Celaena. Celaena dyes her hair pink. And fleetfoot turns into a unicorn.

After reading Heir of Fire I decided that I’ll re-do this for the next book which will obviously be called

I return to my rightful throne of glass motherf*cker Here we go The King of Adarlan gets murdered by neon sea monkeys. Celaena becomes a tumblr girl. Dorian has a steamy shower with chaol (I ship it) The chocolate hazelnut cake has been causing the dark magic all along. And Manon tries wine for the first time.

Aelin: Today’s a good day.

Rowan: Today’s a good day.

King of Adarlan: Hi

Aelin:…

Rowan: …

King of Adarlan: I came here to have a good time but honestly I am feeling attacked right now.

Hi I’m auditioning for the role of Sam Cortland and I’ll be singing Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand

Forever in constant denial that Sam Cortland is really dead

Confirmed for Queen of Shadows:

-Celaena will now be written as Aelin in 3rd POV
-Rowan has a significant amount of page time
-The opening scene begins with Dorian
-We find out who Aedion’s father is
-There will be more Cadre scenes [swoon]
-Witchling babies will appear as will Crochan witches
-New countries will be introduced
-We find out which assassin murdered the royal family of Terrasen
-New characters (such as Nesyrn Faliq) will be introduced

-We’re all going to die

THRONE OF GLASS SERIES SPOILERS MAYBE

but I’m a little confused will somebody please explain to me, wasn’t it made obvious that arobynn was the assassin who killed celaena’s family? like beyond explicitly stating it?

because she was found on the side of the river by arobynn, and was given the choice go with him or die (because otherwise he’d kill her himself).

and the news report said the assassin who killed the royal family met aelin on the banks of the river

plus if you’re the king of adarlan and have tons of money and only one shot at assassinating terrasen’s royal family, aren’t you going to hire THE KING OF ASSASSINS to do the job? why go to anything less than the best?

but i see a lot of posts speculating about it and saying it will be revealed in QoS, but reading between the lines wasn’t it already revealed ages ago?

Ok so I had just finished reading Crown of Midnight and I decided to read The Assassins Blade next. Before when I heard about Sam in the first two books I was like whatever it’s all about Chaol.But then I read the AB and I was like .SAM SAM MY BABY I FUCKING LOVE YOU AKFJJRNFIFNGKF. As I was getting near the end I was flipping OU cuz I new he was going to die (I was reading this during class) When I got to the part where it was like Sam was dead I threw the book at the wall and started crying my eyes out….. My teacher asked me if I needed help

If you haven’t read The Assassins Blade, you’re seriously missing out on some Sam Cortland feels

The thing is, we all know for certain that the King of Adarlan is evil. He has no other redeeming qualities. The guy signed his own death sentence even before we had met him. Maeve, on the other hand, I think a lot of us aren’t too sure about? Personally, I dislike her. I don’t care what her ultimatum is, she still enslaved her warriors and made them whip each other whenever she pleased. She also never sent aid to Terrasen, only claiming to host sanctuary to all of those who could make it across the sea to Doranelle. But, she did mention a few times that she desires to see Aelin reclaim her throne. Perhaps she only meant that so to manipulate her young relative once she takes up that king of power, but I’m not ready to label her “evil” just yet. She’s merely (ok…VERY) problematic.

But yeah, getting back to the question: I’d ship them as an evil BROTP. Lol.

send me any ship, and I mean ANY ship, and I’ll tell you if its an OTP, BROTP, or NOTP!

After analyzing everything I’m convinced this series is about the transformations of Celaena and Dorian. I predict they’ll either end up together or rule their separate kingdoms with an alliance. Dorian never questioned or resented Celaena for her true identity and prior “occupations” In fact, he was the one who brought her out of Endovier by his command. They have the cutest friendship but with a fiery passion underlying the surface of their innocent gestures which makes for an intense [possible] romantic pairing. Not to mention, regardless of who you ship in this series, there’s a shit ton of foreshadowing that would suggest Dorian x Aelin being endgame. Here are a few…

“There is a queen in the north, and she has already beaten you once. She will beat you again. And again. Because what she represents, and what your son represents, is what you fear most: hope.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“One of them has to break,” the queen said to the princess.
“Only then can it begin.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“When Celaena got back, when she returned as she’d sworn she would… they would set about changing the world together.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But to surmise, I’m very open minded regarding the many possible ships in this series. I’ve shipped her with almost everyone by now, including her own self. If Sarah ends up not giving Aelin a love interest in the end, I wouldn’t mind. She’s built a strong enough character to do that 🙂

I have a crackpot theory where Abraxos is actually a man turned wyvern (by the King because lets be honest, its not as if the man hasn’t been turning people into monsters already) or he was a fae but was trapped in his wyvern form when magic faded. And if that is the case, I totally ship Abraxos x Manon!

I’m not certain who to ship Chaol with. I think he needs to do a little self-exploring before he dives back into the world of dalliances and flirting! But as for shipping him and Ansel? I guess I could see the potential, but I wouldn’t want that to occur. It would be too strange, all considering how they’d eventually meet one another (through Aelin herself). However, I’ve been doing my daily stalking of Sarah J Maas’ Pinterest board and found an image depicting Ansel alongside a massive lion. Someone commented it could have been Rowan’s “Kitty-Cat Friend” to which SJM replied “you might be on to something..” !!!

I can see that happening. They’re both under the King’s possession (quite literally) and they’ve both been said to have ulterior motives that would suggest they were against the King before he enslaved them. If not an OTP, than maybe a badass BROTP? Two supposedly evil characters helping one another regain their lives from a common enemy. I like it. [dark smirk]

send me any ship, and I mean ANY ship, and I’ll tell you if its an OTP, BROTP, or NOTP!

Already answered (with a ton of detail) but I’ll say it again: BROTP/ OTP. They’re my favorite couple (for any type of relationship) in the entire series. And since this series is my favorite, they’re my favorite pairing. OF ALL TIME. I worship their friendship but I’d also be happy if it became something more. (✿◠‿◠)

send me any ship, and I mean ANY ship, and I’ll tell you if its an OTP, BROTP, or NOTP!

NOTP. I love both characters but I wouldn’t want them to end up together for various reasons. I have a theory that Abraxos is a human turned wyvern or a fae stuck in wyvern form and I’d ship those two in a heartbeat. Also, if Rowan were to end up with anyone in this series (romantically) I’d want it to be Aelin. However, the two of them would be great allies together! Perhaps they’ll fight side by side when (if) they’re both in Aelin’s rebel army.

send me any ship, and I mean ANY ship, and I’ll tell you if its an OTP, BROTP, or NOTP!

YES. OMG. I LOVE THEM, too bad Sam is gone and Sarah isn’t planning on bringing him back

I shouldn’t have read the Throne of Glass novellas. There isn’t even any scenes of Sam alive in the first two ToG books but now I’ve read the novellas all I want is for Sam to make a miraculous recovery in Heir of Fire or something, like maybe he never really passed. :(:(

Do you know why everyone’s hating on Chaol? ;o ’cause I don’t get it…he’s such a great guy ;o

To be honest, there a thousand reasons why people are hating on Chaol. Some say he was repulsed by Celaena and Dorian after their big reveals, some say he is just a general pain in the arse.
But to be honest, I think Chaol Westfall is a prime example of character development, and in many ways (after reading The Assassin’s Blade) I see a lot of Sam Cortland in him.

He went from being so cold towards Celaena because she was this murderer and assassin, but then went on to open up to her. He saw the good in her and she did with him. I love it in books where a relationship blooms between a couple where there is a large degree of Skinny Love– the two are obviously in love but neither one mentions it.

Despite everything, Chaol has always been there to the degree’s which he is capable. I get where some people come from with certain aspects of him. But come on people. Mr Westfall is just Grumpy Cat personified.

And we love him for it.

Even if Chaolaena happens or not. Even if Chaol makes it to the end or not. I will always support him, regardless of other peoples largely unjustified hatred towards him.

*Sidenote- Just because I like Chaol doesn’t mean I don’t like Dorian or Rowan or Aedion, because lets face it, if you’ve been following my blog for at least a day you’ll know I adore all three (MAKES LOVEY DOVEY EYES AT ROWAN)*

I’m just loving this Sam x Celaena banter 🙂

I don’t want to ship you guys cause this is only the prequel and I don’t want to get my heart broken but it’s hard cause you two are adorable little idiots

aedion: i can protect her better rowan: no i can aedion: ive known her longer rowan: were carranam aedion: ive served and protected her since birth rowan: well we all know how that turned out aedion: launches himself at rowan aelin: kills arobynn aelin: kills king aelin: rebuilds empire aelin: now now boys you can both protect me

all i want in life is a sam cortland

is that so much to ask for

Reading the throne of glass novellas is so painful bc they introduce Sam
And he’s great so far (I just finished the novella about the pirate lord)
He’s definitely the best match for Celaena out of Chaol and Dorian (don’t kill me I’ve only read the first book so far)
But I know he dies
And the thought itself just causes me misery

Sarah:I see that you like this funny, smart, awesome character.

Sarah:wouldn’t it be funny

Sarah:if something

Sarah:were to happen

Sarah:to them?

Me:

Me:

Me:

Me:hoe don’t do it

Sarah:*brutally kills character*

Me:Oh my God

Celaena (ToG): I don’t hate you. And I don’t think you’re like them. I’m—I’m sorry if I’ve hurt you. I’m joking most of the time.

Celaena (CoM): Thank you for all that you have done for me, Dorian. Thank you for being my friend. For not being like the others.

Dorian (HoF): But he had seen her—seen glimpses of the person beneath, regardless of name or title. And he knew, deep down, that she had not blinked at his magic but rather understood that burden, and that fear. She had not walked away or wished him to be anything but what he was.
